Job postings listing specific majors

[mdovell]

There are majors that I think can kinda blend while others might be polar opposites.

Anthropology and criminal justice can kinda go along. Business and sociology not really.

But it would also depend on licenses and certifications and how the industry treats itself.

It does depend. For example, if you majored in computer engineer, but they're looking for computer science, you can apply since CE majors do a lot of programming and development courses. However, this probably isn't the best example since many positions that look for CS majors will also list CE as being acceptable too.

IT in general, some places may be able to let that slide, like if you know how to work databases, consider applying anyways even if the it says they need a CS major.

I'd a business major could get away without that too.
